Zap, Zap...

Mindfulness

Awareness

Rewards

All about me. About how I see me

About positive reinforcement

I am still exercising, still sweating blood and shedding tears

I am achieving

I still get excited when my sweat drips on to the floor. Because it is MY sweat. Because I have exercised to full capacity to make that sweat. Okay, I'm new to intensive exercise. I have come a long way from my first boxing class where I fainted merely from using too many big muscle groups at the same time.

I have rewarded myself with trendy exercise wear. To feel good in nice things. To wear firm flattering gear and to ditch the shapeless garments I felt I deserved. Until recently.

I have been on this journey to better health and mind, to positivity and satisfaction now for nearly 3 years.

Now, I am rewarding myself with mindfulness, with 'being aware' with being 'present'. I am finally beginning to feel I deserve to take time in being pampered. To be happy with 'me'

How?

Well, I am having my hair dyed more frequently so when someone's eyes stray to the conversation triangle between eyes and forehead, I don't immediately cringe at my... regrowth

But

I am also having laser treatment to give me smooth armpits. Something I have wanted to do for a long time. Something to reward myself for all the hard work through Winter.

Mindfulness - it is wonderful, it gives you back so much of your live and the capacity to enjoy your life and each wonderful moment- it also helps to transition through tough or unpleasant or even dull stuff with more ease.

You are worth looking after after all life is not a dress rehearsal!xxx
